Parametrics & Virtuality

Parametrics architecture to me seems like an architecture of the future, with its futuristic morphing forms. Although it seems boundlessly unorthogonal, almost like the architects are just drawing them up from random curves, they are fundamentally systematic and ordered. Following the modernist era and fordism, which are strictly defined, thus pertaining to mass production and standardization, parametrics is the opposite. It is an interrelation of micro-subsystems, flowing, specialized, flexible and divert. Everyone is different, therefore should be treated to what suits them best. One clear example showing this parametric era is the internet, when the whole class was asked to search the same world in google from their smartphones, the result shows a list of different web links but in different orders on different people's screen because the web engine is specialized to its owner, which looked back into the phone's history of searches before generating a list of desirable results in a duration of one click so the owner does not have to search for the best web but the best web finds the owner instead. Technologies through time has adapted the world to a swift flow of information and data. Architecture has also adapted to the trend of the world. Parametricism presents architecture of fluent, dynamic forms, that is simulated by computer. Like how our phone is adapted its owner, parametric architecture is adapted to where its inhabited. Not only is it interrelated to its surrounding but also from building to building within the site, hence the term "articulation" meaning an organization of individual parts into a coherent and meaningful whole. Like many works of Zaha Hadid, the buildings morph into each other and fluently merge into the surrounding context. Building of four will look like one. You won't see the architecture as a separate element but as a virtual extension and articulation of its context.
